Shirley,
Great to hear from you. I am glad you are done with your last chemo. How awful to have to drive 5 hours. My mom is lucky to have everything within minutes of her house. I guess we have to be greatful for anything that makes this time easier. Mom has experienced some of the pins and needles in her feet. She doesn't seem to bothered by it at this point. Her brother has been with her for the last week and will stay until I fly in on next Wednesday (Oct 26). I will be with her for her second chemo and the following week and then have to fly back home for work. She has chemo every 21 days. She is 71 years old and one of my concerns is infection. Did you have any issues with this? I have put antibacterial soap by the sinks and the pump gels all over the house. I'm making sure everyone who comes near her gets a flu shot. She has an open wound from clots that had to be removed from her surgery site and has a yeast infection on the inside of her thighs. She is very tired and not into eating at all. She also seems really bored with it all right now.
Anyway, thank you for listening,
Anna
